obama is our president now. and bush was our president and both of these people are co-conspirators in this incredible deficit and in our military adventures. you can say that one isn't responsible and one is. they've also inherited this from clinton. you can take it back to eisenhower. you can blame everything on the paris treaty in 1919 if you really want to. >> you can blame a lot on it. >> you can. >> do you think we can blame the french? >> that's where new world order was established. you can blame cane and able if you want to. we're in it now. whoever wins that race is going to be our president. >> stay with us. coming up, we have more futures trading sharply lower on negative earnings as we get jim cramer's take on dupont and 3m next. the sweet spot that powers sound decisions. duff & phelps financial advisory and investment banking services. ♪ nespresso. where there's a coffee to match my every mood. ♪ where just one touch creates the perfect cup. where every cappuccino and latte is made with fresh

one of the things we saw in our poll, two things behind romney's move up to obama. he reasserted who can best lead in the economy. the second thing is romney has become competitive with the president on who can serve as commander in chief. obama has a three-point lead that tells you that the challenger reached a point of acceptability on that issue and one of the factors in that may be the libya controversy, because we saw by 36, i think 39-26 that americans thought that that attack could have been prevented rather than being something that was just going to happen anyway, that suggests that the president has taken a little hit on leadership in foreign policy entering this debate. >> it's like no state -- not any state, i don't expect romney and ryan to be out in california but even pennsylvania now, they send paul ryan there and the president is still going to north carolina. no one is creeding anything at this point. >> chuck todd points out colorado is probably the swing state that gets the least respect. he was tweeting about this over the weekend because it's h

i worry about obama care. i worry about innovation being stifled. i look at europe and whatever you want to attribute their lack of innovation to in, you know, pharmaceuticals or medical devices, there's something that went wrong over there in their system because we're delivering all of it here now. >> you know, i think that's a hugely important point. i know that the president's science advisers have been working with the fda on a set of changes that will enable much more rapid movement of drugs. the reason electronic medical records are so important is that if you're able to combine that information, you can catch it when there's a problem. you can act on it when there's a huge opportunity in terms of a drug working, and you can move to better decision making about those drugs much more quickly. that's why that was an important thing to be encouraging. you know, if you look -- you have to be fair about this. and everybody laughs at government and complains about government. >> right. >> if you look at the electronic medical records that they have

she designed an original obama tie in '08. i said, can you design a tie for africa that would speak to the issue of africa and -- >> where can we buy these? >> at macy's stores around the country. not selling at macy's in new york but i'm appealing to the macy's tie department to start stocking these ties. i'm going to ask mark to get the ties into macy's. >> we'll have to talk to terry lundgren about that. >> get them in there. the whole idea -- all the money goes to combat malaria. very attractive ties. i've got them for all of you here. i want everybody to wear -- i'm wearing a beautiful red. you see each one has -- africa, the continent is imbedded in the tie, the symbol here, to remind people 665,000 children under 5 die from malaria. we're making inroads into reducing that dramatically, mainly led by peter chairman. >> i want to ask you about no -- >> buddy mellon -- >> that's who wrote about your singing? >> i went to my junk mail. i didn't see it -- >> mel kamazon -- >> he said, that's why i'm listening to sirius becau

and obama was down that night. no question about it. that was that huge factor in the campaign. >> you know you've been a huge supporter of the president, do you think it matters who gets elected and what it means just for business next year based on who gets elected. >> well, i do think under either of the two candidates, either one that becomes president, american business is going to get a lot better over the next four years. i think that in terms of social policies, i think if i were a woman concerned about reproductive rights, i think there could be a very distinct difference. if i was concerned about supreme court appointments, there would be a difference. but the economy will get better under either one of them. >> joe, go ahead, i'm sorry. >> i want to stick with politics a little bit, warren. and you always surprise me. i never know how you're going to answer this. i want to talk about a local politician here in new york. and i'm talking about mike bloomberg. every democrat's favorite republican. let's say that this caught on a

. >> i guess you have obama up in ohio still. >> yeah, i think obama does have a slight lead in ohio. >> even though the cincinnati inquirer poll just had it tied. >> i understand that. >> it's not rasmussen. which polls do we believe now? >> i understand that. do you want me to -- should we keep going on this or shy deal with andrew's question about the ground game? >> no, we better talk sandy i think. >> okay. sandy effect on the vote is entirely speculative. there are a lot of people yakking about it, but mostly making stuff up. i'll go to a couple things. first of all, obama is believed to have a somewhat more extensive ground game, he has more people on the ground. so in theory, he has more to disrupt. the president's schedule has him doing more events that will have to be canceled than romney. on the other hand, because romney is down a field goal and needs something to happen, the idea that sandy could flereeze things in place for a few days is not necessarily good for him because he had momentum after the first debate. the momentum seems to have died out. it's left him in a ve
